Let's Pretend

This one isn't depressing for once

Take me down
Through the passage
And tell me "close your eyes"
To keep it a surprise
We appear
Before the water
You gently take my hand
"This is my promised land.
This is the only place I don't have to share."
Then why did you take me here?

Close your eyes.

"I don't know how
To tell you that I
I'm happy now
I'd rather share my life with you than see this place alone
And even though I don't live here this place has been my home
So let's pretend that we're the only people in the world
That pain does not exist
That you're my family and I'm yours
And anything and everything is ours and only ours
And you're mine."

I look at you
My mouth is open
But I can't say a word
I don't know what to say
My message still is heard
So we stare off
Into the water
Reflection of the sky
You wrap your arms around me
And look me in the eyes
"I think that you
Like pretending too.

But don't forget that I

"I don't know how
To tell you that I'm
Not lonely now
I'd rather share my life with you
Than spend it all alone
And even when I'm at my house
It doesn't feel like home
So let's pretend there's no one else to make us feel alone
That pain does not exist
That you're my family and I'm yours
And anything and everything is ours and only ours
And you're mine."

You turn around and look down
I get up and walk around
To look you in the eyes
"Stop it, don't look at me
Just let me catch my breath, please
Don't watch me while I cry."

Dry your eyes and make a wish

"I don't know how
To tell you that I'm
In love right now
I'd gladly give my world to you
You're the one good thing I know
And anywhere I am with you
Is where I feel at home
So let's pretend it's me and you
And just tonight you love me too
That happiness exists
That you're my family and I'm yours
And anything and everything is ours and only ours
And you're mine, and I'm yours."

This feels like the best love poem I have ever read! That's a little exaggerated...well, I'm adding it to the my library feature here, so I can read it again and it won't be utterly lost.

Thank you, I appreciate it!
